advantages of visualization + data analysis (cultural analytics):

revealing gradual historical changes
(Time covers, cinemetrics data)

describing analog (continuos) qualities
(The 11th Year - average movement per shot
motion graphics)

understanding interactivity
(games comparison)

analysis of large sets of cultural artifacts / processes:
comparison, central tendency, dispersion, outliers, signatures, identification of similar patterns
(Time covers image graph
912 Manga titles (1000000 pages) - Mondrian software
Vertov films)
